CUB Report
Introduction to the CUB Report
The CUB REPORT is a way for us to keep in touch with the McCubbins of the world. It gives our readers a platform to submit queries when they’re searching for ancestors and a place to showcase family documents, stories, photos and newly discovered facts. Our co-ordinators – there are five of us – compile the information from the emails and letters we get throughout the year and bring together another CUB Report in late November.
We keep an e-mail list of persons who would like to be notified when the CUB REPORT is on-line.
We hope you enjoy our wee newsletter.
